Heritage listing
Details The memorial stands inside the churchyard of the Church of St Mary the Virgin (Grade II*-listed) beside the cast-iron entrance gate and railings, within close proximity of churchyard monuments and opposite Church House all Grade II-listed. The stone memorial comprises a Latin cross rising from a moulded collar on a tapering octagonal shaft. The cross shaft stands on a square plinth with chamfered shoulders, on a two-stepped square base. The main inscription in relief-carved Gothic lettering on the front face of the plinth reads OUR/ GALLANT DEAD/ A:D 1914-1918, with a further inscription in similar script on the upper step reading 1939-1945. On the rear face of the plinth is an incised and black-painted inscription which reads PEACE BE UPON THEM/ AND MERCY. The names of the dead are incised into the side faces of the plinth and the upper step of the base.
